What should I do if I accidentally come to the ancient times?

Chapter 69 Migration

After Zhao Hao and the others finished moving the dumplings, the clansmen had almost prepared their own tents, and a great migration finally began.

This time, Zhao Hao decided to move all the clansmen to the grassland.

Because they definitely couldn't stay in the old land with the Ministry of Salt, and if they were still there when the people from the Xueman tribe came to find them, nine times out of ten they would not be able to hide the matter about Young Master Sheng.

Because the bamboo forest is too close to the old land of Yanbu, and near the road from Heishibu to Youyanbu, it is not suitable for people to stay.

Therefore, Zhao Hao decided to simply relocate his family, so that the people of the Xue Man tribe could not find them.

As for different trees, salt ponds, fish ponds, etc., in fact, it’s okay to just throw them there. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for wild animals to destroy these things, as long as you arrange people to look at them regularly.

There was also the cofferdam that blocked the river. He simply ordered someone to remove it. Anyway, they don't lack food at the moment. If they want to eat fish, they can go to the fish pond to get some.

He discussed all these matters with his mother, and on the day agreed with his mother, Zhao Hao took Ayun and Ayue, rode a white dragon, and rushed to the old place of Yanbu early in the morning.

At this time, Grandmother had already brought the clansmen to pack up almost everything. When she saw Zhao Hao running over, she leaned over and said in embarrassment, "Oh my God, what about cured beef? They can't bring it at all. many."

Weighing, he really hasn't considered this issue, because it's been almost a month since the slaughter of the cow, and he's been eating the offal of different animals to enhance his strength these days, and he hasn't eaten any beef at all. , How could he still remember the beef that was distributed to the tribe back then.

This meat is too much to move, it really makes people speechless.

He asked helplessly: "How much does each family have left now? After the beef is smoked, it will lose at least half of its weight. They can't smoke the meat as dry as possible, so it will become lighter?"

Grandma quickly explained: "I also thought that the smoked beef would be much lighter, so these days I let them smoke it non-stop, but last time you sent too much beef, Even if it is smoked and dried again, each household will have a thousand catties at least."

Thousands of catties!

This, ordinary people really can't carry it, it seems that they can only be carried by Bailong. If it is a thousand catties at a time, it is not a big problem for Bailong to carry it across mountains and mountains.

He thought for a while, then said decisively: "Mum, you ask all the clansmen to pack the cured beef in bamboo baskets, and make their own marks. I will help them move them to the grove in batches."

That's good, Aunt nodded, and then directed the people to prepare according to Zhao Hao's request. There are quite a lot of people in the family, because when there is nothing to do, the people will make up some by themselves. There is nothing to do. Although it is slow to break bamboo with stone knives, it can't stop their enthusiasm for weaving bamboo baskets.

At this time, Zhao Hao left Ayun and Ayue behind, and went to the bamboo forest alone to inform another group of clansmen. Afterwards, he rode a white dragon to help the clansman start transporting cured beef. The clansmen also started carrying their belongings, Walk slowly towards the grassland.

The migration of the tribe this time is not as easy as last time, because the tent alone weighs hundreds of catties, and there are clay pots and bowls. Most of them take care of the cattle and sheep in the small woods, and only Amu, Ayun, Ayue and Ahua can help them. They walk through the mountains and forests, which is called slow. Originally, they only need to walk for a day. Walked for three full days.

However, this also has an advantage. During these three days, at least they can get acquainted with one of the most basic survival skills of nomadic tribes, pitching and retracting tents.

Three days passed, and when the tribe arrived at the grove, they were able to set up their tents quite skillfully.

However, this is not over yet. The grove is not the end of their migration, because it is still a little close to the old place of Yanbu. If they want to completely disappear from the sight of Xuemanbu, they still need to migrate deep into the grassland.

The first destination that Zhao Hao set for his people was the lake where Kui was at the beginning. There is plenty of water and pastures, and it is a good place for nomads to live together.

After that, he just let the clansmen rest in the grove for a day to recover their strength, and then he took the clansmen on the road again.

Fortunately, this time, he doesn't need to help move the cured beef or something, because after arriving on the grassland, the clansmen can use horses to help carry things. It doesn't matter much, as long as you lead the horse, you can carry all the things over.

This distance is not short. You must know that the speed of Bailong running on the grassland is different from running in the jungle. If he runs on the grassland for more than an hour, it is at least as far as running in the jungle for two hours. the distance.

Therefore, Zhao Hao estimated that it would take at least five or six days for all the clansmen to migrate to the lake where Kui was at the beginning.

However, at this time, he was not in a hurry, because once the people of the Yan tribe went deep into the grassland, it would be impossible for the Xueman tribe to find them. In the vast prairie, if there is no one to guide the way, it is only a few dozen people to find one. A small tribe of people is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Of course, this journey is not easy, because they have to migrate the cattle, sheep and wild horses together.

Zhao Hao has led his men to dismantle the sheepfolds and cattle pens next to the grove, and put all the pendants and canes on the horses. The task of driving the cattle and sheep is still done by the young and strong of the clan. However, every time it was time to camp, the clansmen had to take care of the cattle and sheep in batches.

This is also a kind of exercise. After all, taking care of cattle and sheep is also one of the most basic survival skills of nomadic tribes.

This journey made Zhao Hao very busy, because most of the clansmen came to the grassland for the first time, and they were all used to living in the jungle, and they had no experience in life on the grassland.

For example, lighting a fire for cooking is a big problem.

There was not much firewood on the grassland for them to pick up, and there were quite a few hay and hay, which were not enough for them to burn.

How to solve this problem?

In fact, it is very simple, that is to burn cow dung!

Dried cow dung is basically composed of combustibles such as grass roots and stems, and it burns no worse than firewood.

Zhao Hao personally demonstrated time and time again, how the cow dung is rubbed into a shape that can be burnt, how it is dried quickly, how it is ignited, and how it burns into a big fire, etc.

However, it is not so easy for people to adapt to such a thing as burning animal dung as firewood.

At first, the clansmen were so disgusted that they couldn't even eat.

Of course, after a long time, people will gradually get used to it. With Zhao Hao's persistence, everyone slowly survived that difficult period of nausea.

The problem of lighting a fire alone was such a hassle. Needless to say, the journey was difficult. It was not until six days later that a member of the Yan tribe came to the edge of the lake where Kui was.

Next, it is to pitch tents, build cattle pens and sheep pens.

The life of the nomadic people in Yanbu began slowly.

Chapter 70

A huge lake lies quietly in the prairie. On the lake, there are rippling blue waves. Around the shore of the lake, there are groups of cattle and sheep. The beauty of the scenery is simply fascinating.

Here is the new gathering place of the Ministry of Salt.

Zhao Hao has been migrating here with his clan for three days. At this time, the clan has gradually begun to get used to life on the grassland. Anyway, there is no need to worry about food or anything. Just watch the cows and sheep grazing every day. Everyone can live a comfortable life.

However, it's definitely not going to work like this.

Such a comfortable life cannot last long. No matter how many cattle and sheep there are, there will be a day when they will finish eating. Moreover, people will gradually become lazy after a long time of comfort. At that time, I am afraid that Xue Manbu will not need to take revenge. If there is the Ministry of Salt, it will be over by itself.

What's more, when it's not easy yet, who knows if such a terrifying tribe as the Xueman tribe will have unknown means to find them. At that time, if the Xueman tribe finds them, the tribe will still This state is really over.

Zhao Hao observed silently for three days and thought about it for three days, and finally decided to teach his clansmen well, let them know the cruelty of reality, and let them know the importance of being prepared for danger in times of peace.

Early in the morning, he gathered the clansmen together and asked them to gather in front of his newly built tent according to the rules.

This so-called rule was naturally set by him. Speaking of it, it is very simple, that is, all young and old must line up neatly in two rows and stand on both sides. lined up in two rows, standing in the middle.

He knew that this request was not high, and the clansmen would definitely give him some face. After all, you didn't blow off his prestige.

However, don't underestimate this requirement. A well-disciplined army starts from such a small requirement and is practiced step by step.

Under the slightly surprised gazes of the clansmen, Zhao Hao took the trouble to adjust their standing posture and the distance between them again and again, until all the clansmen seemed to be lined up, and then he returned to the front, facing the All the clansmen said loudly: "How do you feel? Is life on the grassland easy?"

"Okay."

"It's much better than when I lived in a hut."
